Clean air and clean water are American birthrights

Too little effort has been put forward to curb air pollution in our most populous areas, and yet we know that clean air and clean water are American birthrights not American options.

The preservation of open space, the protection of our
parks and wetlands, the dangers of toxic dumps and the unnecessary exposure to asbestos in the workplace must become environmental priorities in the United States Senate. What we don't need is more silence on the subject.
